More than packed room to listen to Jocelyn Bell talk about women in Astrophysics at the IAC. Never seem this room so full! #JocelynBell #womeninastronomy

It's #WomensHistoryMonth, and what better way to celebrate than by honoring our namesake, Vera Rubin?

She was a brilliant astronomer who provided convincing evidence for the existence of invisible "dark" matter in the Universe and a fierce advocate for #WomenInAstronomy

For #WomenInScienceDay2023 we invited Daniela Tirsch from @DLR to MPE.

Thank you very much for this very inspiring and fascinating talk about #MarsMissions and how to search for life at #Mars! 🤗

@Sheril Caroline Herschel deserves more than a mention here; and a classic example of a man’s work (that of her brother William) unfairly overshadowing a woman’s discoveries.
#CarolineHerschel. #WomenInAstronomy

Today we recorded the December issue of #CometWatch in which I gave a talk about #CarolineHerschel and her comet discoveries. It's now on our You Tube channel here: https://youtu.be/JUn739wwVDQ #WomenInAstronomy
NB: Apologies for the mistake when I mentioned Isis Pogson - she became head of the Madras Observatory, not Vassar. Sorry for the slip up!

Negative COVID test this morning, so I'm about to head up to Wolverhampton to give my last in person talk of 2022 for Wolverhampton AS, my History of Women in Astronomy Part 1 talk. So looking forward to catching up with my friends there :-) #astronomytalk #astronomyoutreach #womeninastronomy #astronomycommunicator #astronomyspeaker
